[Xen-users] No shared physical device in virt-manager
I am fairly new to xen and am trying to build a new guest using virt-manager. When I get to the screen where you can choose virtual or shared physical device there are no physical devices to choose from. Is there some step that I have missed while setting up my Dom0? -Joel Coopersmith Sr. Systems and Networking Analyst joel.coopersmith@accenture.com <blocked::mailto:joel.coopersmith@accenture.com> (316) 689-0049 X3230 Accenture.com This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.

This is Redhat v5 64bit for the Dom0 and the new guest. -Joel -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Kai Schaetzl Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 10:12 AM To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-users] No shared physical device in virt-manager wrote on Wed, 9 Apr 2008 09:45:42 -0500:> Is there some step that I have missed while setting up my Dom0?CentOS?

Did you install the CentOS/Red Hat Xen 3.2 rpm that xen.org provides or do you use the "native" xen (3.0/3.1 mix) coming with RHEL 5? If yes (for Xen 3.2), then this patch should help.

RE: [Xen-users] No shared physical device in virt-manager
Sorry for not being more specific before about the OS version in my previous posts. For the installation, I followed the redhat PDF on setting up xen doms and guests. I downloaded (via yum) the xen and virt-manager packages that are "native" to RH. When I try and create a new guest it seems to work fine until I get to the networking devices. When I tried using a virtual adapter instead of a shared physical it comes up as a 192.168.122.0/24 subnet. I am able to ping and communicate using the virtual adapter, but if I try and change the virtual devices IP to anything other than the 192.168.122.0 subnet, no communication occurs. I am wanting to build out 2 guests that I can place on the internet with public IP''s but so far have been unsuccessful because of the networking issues. -Joel -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Kai Schaetzl Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 11:13 AM To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-users] No shared physical device in virt-manager wrote on Wed, 9 Apr 2008 10:21:57 -0500:> This is Redhat v5 64bit for the Dom0 and the new guest.well, I wasn''t clear, sorry.

That combination provides DHCP and virtual networking for this subnet over a bridge called virbr0. You can just disable libvirtd (which also disables dnsmasq) if you want to use static ip addresses. Then simply change the vif lines in your existing VM config files to use the "xenbr0" bridge instead of "virbr0". Configure the static IP *in* your VM like normal.
